I always admitted pity

cause i was getting lonely

Oh oh, I was lonely

a'baby without you.



I always had hid it,

pity needed you to hold me.

Oh boy, you should have known me,

I didn't know how to.



Gone are the days of magic

those times were cool.

I tried to make love not hate.

What was I to do?

Oh, the beats were playing,

we danced all night.

We were kissing

till dark turned to light.



[Chorus:]

Ah-ooh

Rolling back the rivers in time.

Can't wait. Got to see his face somewhere.

Ah-ooh

Holding back the minutes gone by.

Someday, got to see his face oh yeah.



There's a feeling in my soul

that sets my heart alive.

I tell you there's a feeling in my soul

that tells me that you're all mine.



There's an arrow in my heart

just hit at seventeen.

I tell you there's a shadow in my heart

that tells of what could have been.



[Chorus]



Doesn't really matter

I felt nothing better at all.

Ho-hoo

Sending him a letter

I know I won't regret it all.

Ho-hoo

Doesn't really matter

a miracle could happen for sure.

Ho-hoo

I'd rather wait for ever

baby never have it at all.



[Chorus (x2)]
